A Note from your pastor

There are six Sundays (including today) left in the year 2012. As a church, we are currently over five thousand dollars under our budget.  Yes, these are challenging times financially for many of us… God knows each of our situations and our ‘giving’ is between each one    of us and the Lord. As I have told you before, I personally have no knowledge of who gives how much in this church and I prefer to keep it that way.

Let me encourage all of us to take a look at our giving and if we’ve fallen behind, or we are able to contribute to the general fund, please let us consider using these last few weeks in December to ‘joyfully’ give our tithes and offerings to the Lord.

Thank you and God bless you!
